-These functions allow the compression of dependent blocks, where each block benefits from prior 64 KB within preceding blocks.
-In order to achieve this, it is necessary to start creating the LZ4HC Data Structure, thanks to the function :
-
-void* LZ4_createHC (const char* inputBuffer);
-The result of the function is the (void*) pointer on the LZ4HC Data Structure.
-This pointer will be needed in all other functions.
-If the pointer returned is NULL, then the allocation has failed, and compression must be aborted.
-The only parameter 'const char* inputBuffer' must, obviously, point at the beginning of input buffer.
-The input buffer must be already allocated, and size at least 192KB.
-'inputBuffer' will also be the 'const char* source' of the first block.
-
-All blocks are expected to lay next to each other within the input buffer, starting from 'inputBuffer'.
-To compress each block, use either LZ4_compressHC_continue() or LZ4_compressHC_limitedOutput_continue().
-Their behavior are identical to LZ4_compressHC() or LZ4_compressHC_limitedOutput(),
-but require the LZ4HC Data Structure as their first argument, and check that each block starts right after the previous one.
-If next block does not begin immediately after the previous one, the compression will fail (return 0).
-
-When it's no longer possible to lay the next block after the previous one (not enough space left into input buffer), a call to :
-char* LZ4_slideInputBufferHC(void* LZ4HC_Data);
-must be performed. It will typically copy the latest 64KB of input at the beginning of input buffer.
-Note that, for this function to work properly, minimum size of an input buffer must be 192KB.
-==> The memory position where the next input data block must start is provided as the result of the function.
-
-Compression can then resume, using LZ4_compressHC_continue() or LZ4_compressHC_limitedOutput_continue(), as usual.
-
-When compression is completed, a call to LZ4_freeHC() will release the memory used by the LZ4HC Data Structure.
